Why are there different colors of Extra Virgin Olive Oil if they are all “Extra Virgin”?
The color of olive oil depends upon the type of olives used to make it, if a single variety is used, or upon the types that are blended together if several varieties are used. Color can also be influenced by the soil, climate and seasonal weather conditions in which the olives were grown. The “Extra Virgin” grade is determined by an olive oil’s acidity, not its color.
